And the doctor, in a television interview, indicated that hair and nail problems could indicate this syndrome.
“People who suffer from anemia are more infected than others with infectious diseases and develop a severe form of ‘Covid-19’ disease, and the nutrition of the hair and nails is disrupted,” she says.

And, she adds, a lack of iron in the body leads to anemia. The reason for this deficiency may be due to insufficient consumption of food of animal origin, as well as the loss of a large amount of blood, as well as disruption of the work of the digestive system.

“Anemia doesn’t cause serious illnesses, but people who have it usually feel weak, tired, cranky, and have headaches,” she says.

And the doctor advises, that a general blood test be done every year, to diagnose this syndrome and provide timely medical assistance.
